Most of the search traffic that occurred in Zimbabwe saw a spike from August 2017 as many events were happening around the country, most leading to Zimbabwe getting a new president. This is probably why most of the search data has to do with the political figures that were involved in the ‘non-coup’ rather than the usual things like TV shows.
If you would like to take a look at the data more closely, you can visit the Google Trends for Zimbabwe website.
